The default values of the optional parameters Function Evaluations Limit, Splits Limit and Static Limit depend on the problem parameter nrnr (the number of non-fixed variables). A default value for each of these optional parameters will be set in the first call to the solver nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_solve (e05jb): before that time, getting the value of any of these optional parameters using nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_optget_int (e05jk) will not return a meaningful result.
